As of the closing session last night, early this morning on September 23rd (Vietnam time), coffee prices surged significantly. Robusta coffee on the London exchange rose by 133 to 145 USD/ton, marking a 3.33% to 3.51% increase, while Arabica on the New York exchange saw a more modest rise of 0.23% to 0.56%.
What’s Driving the Universal Coffee Price Surge?
Specifically, for the November 2025 reference contract, Robusta prices climbed 145 USD/ton to 4,280 USD/ton, and Arabica for December 2025 delivery increased by 20 USD/ton to 8,100 USD/ton.
The primary catalyst for this sharp rise is the heavy rainfall in Vietnam’s Central Highlands just before the harvest season, which poses a risk of fruit drop and could negatively impact the country’s coffee output.
Today’s coffee prices in the Central Highlands are expected to rebound, starting from the pre-London trading level of 112,000 VND/kg.
